MediasharX Reviews "Memoria!"
The website MediasharX.com has now posted their review of this week's episode. Here's a sample:

"It's flashback city for Clark and the Luthors, making for some fascinating
revelations and a hell of an episode all around..."

You can read the complete review by clicking here.

The New "Batman Begins" Costume!
Obviously this has very little to do with Smallville, aside from the DC Comics connection, but we couldn't resist... check out the costume from "Batman Begins," which has been revealed in this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine.

Hey, just because we don't like the movie division's Superman plans doesn't mean we don't think Christian Bale as Batman is a good idea! :-)

Update: There are now more pictures at the Warner Bros. Batman Begins site.

What Was That Song?
One of many elements of "Memoria" that generated a good amount of buzz is the song played at the very end of the episode, during the final scene with Clark and Martha.

The song is called "My Immortal," and it's performed by Evanescence. You can order their CD on Amazon (and support K-Site) by clicking here. One can only hope that if there's another Smallville soundtrack, this song will be on it.

We're sorry we've gotten a little behind with the music here at K-Site... look for that to be rectified soon.

Another Season Finale Photo!
KryptonSite has posted another photo from the third season finale of Smallville, which is titled "Covenant."

Two "Memoria" Reviews At KryptonSite!
This week, we've got not one, but two reviews of this week's episode to share with you.

First we've got Hope's weekly review where she talks about the episode and why it is the kind of story that shows that Smallville is actually about being human; and then, Tigress35 hops in with her technical review of the episode, taking a look at the various things that went into this episode.

Both of course are fun reads. Click on the links below for more:

John Schneider Article At Zap2It
Special thanks to: Dee and Frank

Zap2It.com has posted an article about John Schneider and his upcoming Smallville directorial debut in the May 5 episode, "Talisman." Inside the article are some fun quotes, and even some snarking from Kristin Kreuk about all the pink Lana wears!

Click here for the article, and visit the KryptonSite Spoilers Page for some of the snarky details. The article is a lot of fun and one of the most entertaining views into the world of Smallville yet - if only to hear about Schneider calling a certain cast member "Rosenclown."

Interesting trivia: John Schneider's directorial debut was for the Dukes of Hazzard episode "Opening Night At The Boar's Nest"... which also happened to be the final episode of the seres.

Another "Talisman" Guest Revealed!
Another possibly-familiar face you will see on the May 5 episode of Smallville is Teryl Rothery, who has appeared for several years on Stargate SG-1 as "Dr. Janet Fraiser." She's also appeared in MANY other movies and television series and has done a wealth of voice acting work.

She plays a character in the episode who may make Lana meet her match.

Ratings For "Memoria!"
For the third week in a row, the overnight ratings remained exactly the same. Which is good that it's not going down, but considering the quality of the last few episodes, it would he hoped that more people would have seen them. Here's the overnight breakdown:

(R) indicates repeat airing

Alfred Gough Talks Season 4 In Dreamwatch
Special thanks to: Titan

(R) indicates repeat airing

Hey, Did "Jack Cole" Look Familiar?
Special thanks to: LaT

If the guy who played LuthorCorp employee "Jack Cole" in the opening minutes looked familiar, there's a reason for that.

The actor's name is Eric Keenleyside. He also appeared in Smallville as "Mike the bartender" in "Suspect;" but his most important past role was as the original Gabe Sullivan in a deleted scene from the Smallville pilot (which you can find on the Season 1 DVD).

Now if only The Powers That Be would bring the real Gabe Sullivan (Robert Wisden) back! We miss him!

Alex Ross Paints Tom Welling As Superman
Source: Superhero Hype

Alex Ross, who once did four TV Guide covers featuring Smallville and is also responsible for such graphic novel masterpieces as Kingdom Come and Marvels, decided to paint his interpretation of Superman if Tom Welling were to take the role in a movie.

These drawings were not done for the studio; Ross made them on his own to see how Tom would look in the role.

If they really were to do a movie with Tom Welling in 2007? We'd be there.

You can see the image much larger at Superhero Hype, where Ross's initial sketch can be found too. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed in about this news! (There were over a dozen of you!)

MediasharX Reviews "Legacy!"
The website MediasharX.com has now posted their review of this week's episode. Here's a sample:

"So much going on and so little time to do it can only mean one thing ... you can expect the rest of this season to explode with action and development!"

You can read the complete review by clicking here.

Hope's "Legacy" Review!
It's that time again... click here to read Hope's review of this week's new episode!

Ratings For "Legacy!"
No doubt it was contributed to because of following weeks of repeats and being put up against an all-new American Idol performance show, but overnight ratings for "Legacy" were among the worst so far this season. Here's the breakdown.

Let's hope the WB re-airs this one soon so anyone who missed it can know what's going on with the show.

(R) indicates repeat airing; * = incomplete data for last week

The WB Officially Renews Smallville For Season Four
Good news... the WB has officially renewed Smallville for the 2004-2005 season. The WB has also ordered a new season of Everwood.

WB co-chairman Jordan Levin noted that Smallville has followed in the footsteps of some previous Frog hours by "returning significant value to our studio partners. Its recent robust off-net sale to ABC Family and HD-Net of over three-quarters of a million dollars (per episode) came in a marketplace that has not been kind to many new entrants." It was also noted that Smallville is still the WB's top show in the many target demographics.

While this should come as no big surprise to fans, the WB had not yet made any official announcement about Smallville's future before today.

New Michael Rosenbaum Interview Online

Gough and Millar To Produce New Movie
Special thanks to: Eric

Variety has revealed that Smallville executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar will be producing a film titled "Powderpuff Girls" for Disney and Tapestry Films. The movie is written by first-time screenwriter Cindy McCreery.

The film is described as a family comedy that "revolves around an NFL coach who's fired, and ends up moving back to his small town in Texas, where he coaches his tomboy daughter's all-girl football team in an all-boy's league." Note the D in the title - this movie is not about Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Congratulations to Gough and Millar on their new gig.
